LHC scientists detect most favored Higgs decay

This event display from CMS shows a proton-proton collision inside the Large Hadron Collider that has characteristics of a Higgs decaying into two bottom quarks. While this is the most common decay of the Higgs boson, its signature is very difficult to separate from similar looking background events. Image courtesy of CMS

LHC scientists detect most favored Higgs decay

Press release

Scientists now know the fate of the vast majority of all Higgs bosons produced in the LHC.

Theoretical physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently published in Physical Review Letters calculations related to the way muons interact with all other known particles through three of nature’s four fundamental forces, reducing the greatest source of uncertainty in the prediction. The calculation comes out just in time for precision measurements at Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment. Photo: Reidar Hahn
